Pen and Wash

I have now decided to use this blog site to post my completed art along with

commentary on why I chose it and how I went about painting it.

 

 

Children on Church gate

 

This was a demonstration pen and wash chosen for it's simplicity  to make the point that pen and wash used when painting outside is basically an information gathering for a painting done later in the studio, coupled with a photograph it will supply you with enough information to know just how you are going to  complete the work.

 

I first draw all the major shapes lightly with a pencil with no detail.

 

A fine liner describes the textures and lines  to the shapes within and on the outer edges.

 

I use the watercolour to indicate colour notes to indicate  mood.
